The Science
We combine use of satellite measurements, computer modelling, field expeditions and lab experiments to create a package of cutting-edge science.
Areas of Investigation
The seascape survey consists of three distinct programmes of research running concurrently.
Seascape Carbon
The importance of the ocean in the global carbon cycle.
We are identifying the origins of carbon on the world’s continental shelves and exploring how it has accumulated and altered over time. We're discovering the biggest stores and puting their size into context within the global carbon cycle.
Human Influences
The historical impact and spread of human influences on the seabed.
We are uncovering historic and contemporary patterns of human influence on shelf sea carbon and determining its vulnerability to re-release into the atmosphere as a consequence of disturbance by bottom-towed fishing.
Open Source Portal
Explore our online repository where all research data collected through the Convex Seascape Survey is stored. We believe transparency aids the advancement of knowledge, which is particularly needed in the rapidly-evolving field of blue carbon science. It is FREE to use - you can download, share, cite, and review our data.
